In Star Trek, why is it that Humans always seem to beat Klingons in fights?

Question

Klingons are meant to be ten times stronger than humans, and masters of combat and war... and yet, when they actually fight your standard Starfleet officer, suddenly they are capable of being beaten with a punch or two, a karate chip to the shoulder, a good kick in the face, or a crack on the head. Why is this? Surely any fight between Klingons and Humans should be painfully one-sided in the Klingon's favour?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Klingons are all rage, they are not about tactics. Notice that the Borg have no interest in them.

Answer 2

Because the protagonist generally wins in any fictional show.

Answer 3

Star Trek is made by humans for humans entertainment, so the humans always win.
